I agree. This is a solution that I plan on implementing also. I have 
heard / seen at least one other person mention this also. Sounds like 
it's about time one (or all) of us got on with it and get Orca working 
with Nagios.


Jason, did you have any ideas on how you were going to hand the data to 
Orca? I see two options, you could run a process for each piece of data, 
which would be each event(?), and run Orca in the rrd insert only mode. 
Or, you could write to a log file and have Orca batch load the data. The 
second is my choice but I haven't come up with a clear / clean way to 
write the data to logs in a format that Orca likes. I think I would need 
a log for each host and possibly for each service. Anyone else come to a 
similar conclusion?
